# SSSIGChallenge, May - "Favorite technique"

(My 2nd entry)

One of my favourite techs is personalising cards by using die-cuts (and/or stamps) and one of my fav themes is related to music. So this BD card is a combination of  all that. A grand piano for a Piano Man. I have used an unbranded die-set to cut the black/white keys and the piano lid. The notes and the clef are from an other unbranded musical die-set. For the holder of the notebook I just cut pieces of cardstock and used my imagination when assembling it.  The card folds flat (see pic 4).

I love to make personalized cards and one of my favourite themes is the one related to music. This card represents two of my fav themes. It is for a boy called Lukas, who has his 4th birthday this weekend. He loves to play air guitar along Rock'n'Roll music. His fav piece is "I Can't Get No (Satisfaction)" by The Rolling Stones. He really is "Born to Perform". He also likes rainbow colours. Although he already knows many words in English the sentiment inside the card is in Finnish saying "Lukas 4 yrs Congrats".

We Love Chocolate Baroque; May - "Bright Sunny Colours"

 

This birthday card is for a little girl who's family has two small doggies. The girl just loves to take them out (not alone, though, as she's too young). The card is a One Layer Card. The stamped image is coloured with ink pens; the sunny sky, the lawn and the rest of the background are coloured with inked sponges. The only thing that is not stamped and/or inked is the sentiment on the cover. The letters are stickers. The other pic of the cover is taken with extra light and the other in plain "afternoon light".

Stamps:

The girl & the dogs - Tiddly Inks

The sentiment inside  - Ranger

The paw prints - Lawn Fawn

 Hello. With the birthday card in the end of this post I'll enter the following five (5) challenges:

AAA Birthday, Game # 24 (My second entry)

Addicted to Stamps and More # 403 (My third entry)

Allsorts challenge, week 621 "Any three colours of a rainbow"

(My first entry ever; colours: yellow, green, blue)

Seize the Birthday # 212  (My first entry)

We Love Chocolate Baroque; April - Springtime Inspiration

(My 3rd entry)

This card is made by using the stamps and dies of a Rose and Daffodil Stained Glass Window Die Set of Tonic Studios. I die-cut the semi-circle with the leaves twice from a white circle and also from a green circle. Then I put some double-sided adhesive behind the white circle, paperpieced the green leaves into the corresponding places of the white circle, filled the empty places with blue glitter flakes and rubbed them into the adhesive. Then I coloured the center and the white parts of the leaves with lime green ink. The focal point is stamped on a white scalloped circle die-cut. Then I coloured the circle and the stamp with several inks. Those flowers remind me of those that emerge here in Finland among the first ones after the snow has melted. Right now we have lots of them.   

AAA Cards # 188 & ATSM # 403

With the card in the end of this post I enter the following challenges:

AAA Cards, Game # 188

Addicted to Stamps and More, Challenge # 403

This birthday card is OLC and CAS with an one inch strip. Within the strip there are an image and a sentiment which are both stamped. With this curvy strip I wanted to give the card some speedy look to back up the theme of the stamps.
